Ten years ago if you would have told me I would be living in France with a french husband and have three more children. I would have told you you were crazy! You might as well have told me I would be living on the moon with [...]

Someone in our building fed shiny paper to our family pumpkin! Jacques-O-Lantern seems to like it by the happy grin on his face. Another funny thing about Jacques-O-Lanterns is that when they are old instead of growing gray and white hair on top of their heads. They grow it inside their head. As you can [...]

Karlsruhe, Germany has a nice palace with a huge park behind it. My two daughters loved the ducks the best. Ducks understand french-english very well, especially when the ducks see food.

This is the pumpkin that we bought on the side of the street in a small village. My husband and I pulled three children out of the car and crossed a busy street to pick out our first French family pumpkin. Sweet Bear said, “This one.” And, this is the one we got. She is [...]
